Abstract
The dataset was obtained from a time cross-sectional empirical survey to determine the intention to participate in Family Takaful (Solidarity) products. The survey was collected from 277 academicians in private Islamic Higher Education Institutions in Malaysia, with 272 valid cases. The academicians were chosen because of the various education levels, as education is an influential factor in many previous behavioural studies. The questionnaire was developed using scales based on the previous literature, such as intention, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural intention and institutional trust. The reliability and validity of all variables indicated that the measurement items were appropriate. This dataset brought a novelty by conceptualizing the institutional trust construct to predict the customers' intention to participate in Family Takaful (Solidarity) products. Results indicated that the data is suitable for performing replication studies.
